It's that time of year where we ask for help from all Australians: we need everyone to keep your eyes peeled for Bogong Moths (and let us know when you think you find one!) Tag your friends, tell your neighbours and head here to tell us when you see one: bit.ly/2Ls3NYC

A #bongongmoth (I think?) emerged from my washing basket this morning! Just dropped it into Zoos Victoria #MothTracker. How good is a bit of unexpected casual citizen science on the weekend.
